Abstract
Rhadinoceraea sodsensis, n. sp., is described from West Virginia. Its larvae feed on inflorescences of Zigadenus leimanthoides (Liliaceae). This species is separated from the closely related R. zigadenusae from coastal Mississippi by reproductive isolation, phenology, and wing mo rphology. Rhadinoceraea sodsensis is univoltine. Adults fly in mid-Jul y, and larvae feed in late July through mid-August.
